When I posted this on FB for my friends and family, I told them
"Never let it be said we don't have a sentinel at the mote!"
Yes there is indeed a mote creek out in those trees. BUT what no one noticed, myself included, there's also a noose on the line, at the ready. O.o (It's really just rolled up excess line dangling from the post.)
So invaders beware!
(Yes it truly is an awful photo that I quickly grabbed with my cell on zoom through my back window.)
Yes, the leader of the pack is truly standing on the peak of the dog guard house.
However!
If you ask me, this is not a dragonfly (below). This is a morphing drone with the skeletal mask of a man.
Just say'n.
And
The sentinel let the thing come right in!
(I've posted this particular photo before somewhere at some point.)
These are my first two clothesline images that I'm submitting to 
HMM WELL There was a plan to create a second post ... I have these two photos that are seasonally themed ... not that I have a thing about clothes on a clothes line or long underwear but ...
However something crazy unhappy is going on with my OneDrive AND related or unrelated I can't locate any of my 2015 photos ... Fortunately I do backups and they are not attached to the PC ... and they won't be until I figure out ... what in the world !!
So. I'm just adding this one from summer for my third entry. There's just something super calming to me about laundry playing in the summer sunlight. Almost like stained glass.
